Will the PlayStation 3 ever be use as a Base Console?

Like the PS2, do you think PlayStation 3 will be use as a Base Console this gen?  Meaning that third parties make games first on the PS3 then port the titles to other systems, rather than the PS3 getting the ports.

I don't think it was ever lead platform, alot of companies just developed the xbox version and downscaled it to the ps2, just look at the splinter cell games

it should, the dude who's told developers to stop complaining about developing for the PS3 from Team Ninja said developers are stupid for making the games on the xbox360 and then porting them to the PS3. he said its easier to down scale a game to the xbox360 than it is to up scale them to the PS38Slick8

Yea man, even Eggebrecht from Factor 5 comments on the number of development studios who have so far complained that programming games for the PS3 is far too difficult in comparison to other system. In his opinion, the majority of these complaints come from development teams who try to port games from the other system to the PS3 instead of doing it the other way around.

Burnout 5 is being made for the PS3 and is being ported to other consoles.MGS9150

What about Assassin Creed or other future coming third parties games like GTAIV?  Because I believe they first started to work with Assassin Creed on the PS3... I'm not sure.

I know this is going to sound fanboyish but, is any developer going to take Eggebrecht opinion seriously, maybe if they developed for 360 before but right now it seems he want to earn his paycheck.  But the team Ninja guys have made a 360 game so they have more validity.

whats your point for the picture besides looking insaneBlitz1130

If it get ported it will look like Double Agent.

I'm just curious have you played Double Agent or are you going off of what people have said about it?

One of the reasons is because of the installed base of the ps3 is low(for the time being) and some 3rd party devs are just lazy.

Another reason for these current poor ports are the reason that when they developed the game they wern't looking at making certain games multiplatform at the time because the ps3 wasn't out yet, now that they are both out, they should improve in quality, but also maybe it is hard to develop for ps3 at first, it only been out less than a year, just look at Graw 2, its taking a while but maybe in 2008 they will realse Graw 3 day, and date on the first day, and IT WILL TAKE PLACE IN MEXICO AGIAN AND THE CHARACTER WILL STILL LOOK LIKE A DAMN TURTLE

lazy and money hungry... they are just copying and pasting the games on to the PS3.   There job is to take the full advantage of each console, that is why we pay $60 for the game.

Well look at Oblivion.... they seems to be doing the right thing with PS3 and i bet they got PS3 devs kit at time same time as all other third parties developers.

But again how long is it going to be before they catch up, it took Oblivion a year, is it worth waiting that long, it taking june for graw2, but what happens to ps3 fan when the Assassin's Creed, or UT3 or heavy multiplatform hitters are delayed? Hypethetically speaking

why would remake games for each console. like making a different madden for ps3 and 360 is just stupid. It would spilt the fan base thats why virtua figher 5 wont have online for 360. it would just makes sense to port games.   

i read it is easier to make games from ps3 to 360, and harder vice versa. So hopefully people will do ps3 first
